Chapter 179: Players Acting as Commentators! Facts...
It turned out to be just as Dino expected.
After being injected with the antidote, Yamamoto Takeshi and Squalo's physical strength had not yet fully recovered, but they continued to utter harsh words one after another.
"Voi——" Even though his physical strength had not recovered and his body, corroded by the poison, was still burning, Squalo's voice was still loud.
"You're such an ignorant brat." Squalo stood up and gave a shark-like grin to the beaming Yamamoto Takeshi. "Now that you've got the ring, why don't you go find your companions first? Instead, you're trying to detoxify me?"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you here?"
"Well, doesn't this poison kill you if you don't get the antidote within thirty minutes?" Yamamoto Takeshi scratched his head, flexed his wrist, and smiled. "I just think it's a shame that everyone else has fought, but you and I haven't. And..."
"If I can hold you here, wouldn't it be more beneficial to us?" Yamamoto Takeshi also smiled, stood up and held Shigure Kintoki.
"Voi—! You're such a boaster!" Squalo held onto the rocks beside the swimming pool. "You're going to regret this, kid, because I'm going to tear you apart right here!"
"How will you know if you don't try, Squalo?" Yamamoto Takeshi's eyes narrowed. "I've made a lot of progress recently—"
"Then let me see your poor swordsmanship!" Squalo gripped his sword tightly and attacked Yamamoto Takeshi fiercely.
"Ah..., just in time!" Faced with the impending huge threat, Yamamoto Takeshi did not panic, but became more and more eager to fight.
…
…
"After so much procrastination, the fight finally started." The player took a bite of the kebab.
"No... this isn't right?" Dino held his head, unable to believe how things would unfold. "Why would Yamamoto go up against Squalo?!"
"Wouldn't it be a good idea to meet up with Yusi and the others at this time?"
"This decision seems a bit reckless, Kola!" Colanillo also felt that Yamamoto Takeshi's decision seemed a bit impulsive.
"Maybe it's because I'm the only one among my companions who hasn't fought one-on-one. Yamamoto-kun thinks the process is a little off."
"And for some reason, that guy's incredibly obsessed with defeating Squalo," the player speculated, gesturing towards the arena where they were fighting. "Besides, look, their arena is clearly meticulously laid out, perfect for a battle between Rain Guardians."
"That's true." Dino, who had just arrived and didn't have time to observe more, looked in the direction of the black-haired girl and soon found something wrong.
"That swimming pool seems to have undergone special modifications. Not only has its area been expanded several times, but it also appears to have been deepened, and a lot of stones have been placed in the water."
"I can only say that it seems like someone just wants these two to fight each other." The player made a veiled suggestion.
The Chelberos standing by remained silent: "..."
"Luckily, Yamamoto had undergone special training before this. Even if he couldn't defeat Squalo, he was able to escape." Dino said, admiring his teacher's foresight. "I just didn't expect the battle for the Grand Sky Ring to end in this way."
"I really didn't expect this. I thought the one-on-one fight would decide the outcome, but it ended up being a team fight." The player watched as Yamamoto Takeshi was pointed out his style by the silver-haired man. He remained calm and said something that attracted everyone's attention. "But, you're wrong about one thing, Dino. Yamamoto can't run away."
"What does this mean, Miss Aurora?" Basil asked in confusion. "Squalo is formidable. If Lord Yamamoto is defeated, it's not a bad idea to retain some of his strength..."
"Of course, we're using Squalo as a springboard!" The player looked at the NPCs, who were stunned by his words, and laughed even more happily. "If you want to further improve in the Shigure Cangyan Style, Yamamoto-kun must withstand the death threat posed by Squalo."
"To become the true successor of Shigure Sogan-ryu."
This kind of suitable opportunity is something that can only be encountered once in a while...
"Using Squalo, who has the title of Sword Emperor, as a springboard is really crazy..." For a moment, Xiamal felt that the special training he gave to Hayato Gokudera was too lax!
I just asked Yusi to fold a paper airplane and take a look at the Trident Mosquito, but this girl named Aurora directly asked her apprentice to use Squalo as a springboard!
Hayato! You must thank me when you get out! Shamal cried out in his heart.
Should I say he is indeed a friend of the teacher? He trains his disciples in such a brutal way!
Dino recalled some of his previous experiences and such thoughts popped up unconsciously in his head, and his eyes moved restlessly.
"What's the matter, Dino? Do you have any objections to my way of education?" Reborn's devilish voice came.
"No, no, no... How could that be? I have absolutely no objection!!!" The frightened Dino shook his hands wildly and denied it subconsciously.
"Hmph, that's better." After threatening the disciple who dared to rebel, Reborn shifted his gaze to the black-haired girl with a focused look. "From what you mean, you want to use the battle with Squalo to let Yamamoto show his own Shigure Kintoki, right?"
"Show your own version of Shigure Kintoki?" Koniro was puzzled. "What does this mean? Kola!"
"Isn't what Yamamoto Takeshi is using now the real Shigure Kintoki? Kola!"
"Yes and no." The player put on his little detective glasses, pushed them up, and acted as a commentator. "Okay! Everyone, all eyes, look at the blackboard behind me!"
"First of all, we need to know that the Shiyu Cangyan Style has been passed down from generation to generation. Currently, there are eight generations in total, and the Shiyu Cangyan Style only has eight moves in total." The player said while drawing a bifurcation diagram on the blackboard.
Reborn raised the brim of his hat and instantly understood the trick.
The black-haired girl's explanation continued.
"Secondly, we must understand that the core spirit of Shigure Cangyan-ryu, a powerful assassination swordsmanship from the Warring States Period, can be summarized as follows: inheritance means change, and innovation brings new life."
"Adding various reasons to this, we can conclude that Yamamoto Takeshi must create his own technique that can transform Shigure Kintoki into a bamboo sword in order to be considered the true successor of Shigure Sogan-ryu and truly possess the power to pass on Shigure Sogan-ryu."
The player who finished explaining took back the blackboard, took off his glasses, and raised his hands, "That's it, understand the applause!"
"Pa pa pa——" Although it was quickly stopped, some people did clap their hands subconsciously.
"What a demanding way of passing down one's skills. Furthermore, he even crowns himself as the strongest to attract challenges from other swordsmen..." Reborn exclaimed, "It's amazing that this swordsmanship has survived until now."
"Creating your own sword moves? And the most powerful one, the Shigure Sogan Ryu? How easy is that?" Xia Maer looked at Yamamoto Takeshi, who seemed a little overwhelmed. He then glanced at the missing Gokudera Hayato and Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was in a stalemate with xanxus, and said anxiously, "That's too much to ask."
"I see... This is why Shigure Sogan-ryu is known as the strongest swordsmanship." Dino stroked his chin, thinking. "But Squalo has defeated Shigure Sogan-ryu's successor before, so he's very familiar with the first few moves. How can Yamamoto break through?"
"You know, even though Squalo is arrogant, his pursuit of the sword can be said to be quite pure."
"Oh, so you said it all. It's the first few moves."
The player recalled the story he told Yamamoto Tsuyoshi when he handed the Shigure Kintoki to Yamamoto Takeshi. Yamamoto Tsuyoshi mentioned the eighth move of the Shigure Sōgan Ryu and smiled with confidence. "Since Yamamoto Tsuyoshi is alive, that means one thing: the eighth move of the Shigure Sōgan Ryu isn't something Squalo is familiar with."
The player watched as Yamamoto Takeshi used the eighth move of the Shigure Sogan Ryu to repel Squalo - even when the opponent mocked the young man for only daring to use the back of the sword instead of the blade, Yamamoto Takeshi remained firm in his expression, but the bamboo sword he was holding showed faint signs of turning into a sharp sword.
This black-haired boy, who has been learning swordplay for less than two weeks, is about to create his own sword moves at the age of fourteen!
"It's time for Yamamoto to strike back. Squalo will pay the price for his initial arrogance and underestimation of the enemy." After saying this, the player turned his head and looked at other screens - and found that each place was more exciting than the other.
Switching tables! Players want to switch tables!
"Cherbero! Give me the remote!" The player, who was not satisfied with looking at the small screen, shouted to the pink-haired tools next to him, "I want to enlarge the screen of Tsunayoshi-kun and Xanxus fighting!"
"So suddenly? You're not watching Yamamoto Takeshi anymore?"
Was this a discovery of something unexpected?
Xia Maer was slightly stunned when he saw Aurora immediately shift her gaze. Although the battle between Sawada Tsunayoshi and Xanxus was the most important, he thought Aurora would care more about her apprentice.
"Oh, it doesn't matter. Just like you said before, if you can't beat him, you can just run away. Don't worry too much about Yamamoto." The player waved his hand.
The player was taught several escape techniques, and it was very easy to escape when Squalo was poisoned and injured.
"Didn't you just say that Yamamoto must not run away? Why are you doing that again now..." Dino really didn't understand the black-haired girl's erratic behavior.
"That's because my hope is that Yamamoto-kun will create his own sword moves."
"That's because Aurora's goal has been achieved."
The two spoke in unison, saying similar words.
"What this means is..." Xia Maer looked at the shrunken screen and his face changed.
No way, he just created these sword moves so naturally? And in the middle of a fight?!
"Just like Reborn said, amidst Yamamoto Takeshi's completely different moves, Shigure Kinshiki has changed. This means that my goal has been achieved, so now I can turn my attention and see how the hedgehog-haired boy is doing."
The player looked at the infrared cage that trapped him, and his thoughts vanished. His expression instantly turned serious. "After all, the outcome of Sawada Tsunayoshi and Xanxus is the most crucial."
"Xanxus is not only Varian's leader, but also his strongest fighter." The player spread his hands. "If we can't defeat him, then even if Tsunayoshi-kun's guardians get the other rings, it seems to be useless."
"Xanxus's strength is indeed obvious to all..." Dino nodded with a heavy expression.
Varian is the strongest assassination force, not to mention that Xanxus is the man who impressed Squalo and made him willing to become his subordinate!
"Well, anyway, Yamamoto Takeshi's special training is quite good. Now it's time for me to see the results of your special training, Reborn." The player poked Len, watched the green lizard stick out its tongue, and smiled as he fed it some food with chopsticks.
"Then you should look forward to it. After all..." Reborn looked at the disciple who was about to strike a specific pose, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Tsuna's special training is also very perfect."
"You'd be surprised, Aurora."
